6. Silo Crossing

This is for the "super planners" looking ahead to 2027 or 2028. This 130-acre site is currently in the earliest stages of development.

Why Celina is the Final Destination

Infrastructure is catching up quickly to the population growth. The Dallas North Tollway is extending north, and major retailers are moving in. Costco is under construction, Walmart is open, and Target is slated for late 2026.

• Population Boom: The city jumped 18% in a single year, growing from less than 6,000 people to nearly 60,000.
• Education: Celina ISD holds a 97% graduation rate, and a second high school is coming online soon.
• Job Market: Buyers are relocating for massive job opportunities and the lack of state income tax.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right community depends on your specific timeline. Whether you want a move-in ready home or want to get in on the ground floor, Celina in 2026 is exactly where Frisco and Prosper were years ago.
